Drury as middle name

"There are no original source records such as a will, land deed, birth or death record, showing Lyddall had a middle name Drury or any middle name. For example, there is no middle name 'Drury' in Lyddall's St. Peter's Parish Register birth record. It would have been highly unusual for Lyddall, born 1717, to have a middle name. If you are able to provide a record showing Lyddall had a middle name, please do so in the notes. If you can't, as suggested earlier by Mary Gresham, would you kindly consider dropping the 'Drury' from his name." - Sharland Reeves

This is can probably be atributed to the SAR application listed above.

There are no original source records such as a will, land deed, birth or death record, showing Lyddall had a middle name Drury or any middle name. For example, there is no middle name 'Drury' in Lyddall's St. Peter's Parish Register birth record. It would have been highly unusual for Lyddall, born 1717, to have a middle name. If you are able to provide a record showing Lyddall had a middle name, please do so in the notes. If you can't, as suggested earlier by Mary Gresham, would you kindly consider dropping the 'Drury' from his name. I've contacted the author of Lyddall's memorial at FindaGrave for an edit of his name. Thank you.

Not all sources use full names. Some sources even use nick names, or middle names as the first name. Many people do not have wills, land deeds, death records, or birth records. The Find a Grave Memorial ID 236248007 was submitted by the contributor. Often they get their information from cemetery records.

Bacon-2402 and Bacon-6597 appear to represent the same person because: Bacon-2402 and Bacon-6597 clearly represent the same person and should be merged keeping the original profile, Bacon-2402, and bringing any additional sources from Bacon-6597 into Bacon-2402.

Gresham-1033 Mary Gresham
Bacon-3584 and Bacon-2402 appear to represent the same person because: Slightly different spellings of Lydall with middle name of Drury which needs to be deleted and different wives. Source "Virginia Marriages" by Wulfeck states Lydall Bacon (born 1719) married 1740 Mary Allen. Believe he did not marry Mary Gordon. His daughter married William Gordon. His will names married daughters including Sarah (Glenn) and sons.

This appears to be a duplicate of Lydall Drury Bacon except for the wife's maiden name. Do you have any sources for this profile? Also curious about the daughter's birth name Abernathy? Thanks!
